Inspiring the next generation of bowlers might not have been what Jason Belmonte set out to do when he picked up a bowling ball with two hands for the first time as a young child in Orange, Australia.

What happened when Belmonte stepped onto the approach with a two-handed style that challenged tradition and turned heads was something bigger.

He lit the fuse. He changed the game.

Today, when you look around at the younger generation, you can see it everywhere.

The Generation That Grew Up Watching

Alex Crowley

SYC Champion, Junior Ringin' 10 Champion, Pepsi Champion

Ernesto Reynoso

SYC Champion. Back-to-Back Junior Gold Champion. PBA Jr. National Champion. PBA Jr. Regional Champion

Anna Antony

Teen Masters Champion. SYC Champion. Junior Gold Champion. PBA Jr. National Champion

Brady McDonough

SYC Champion. Pepsi Champion. Youngest PBA Regional Champion.

They didn’t just hear about change; they grew up in it.

They watched Belmonte dominate the biggest stages. They saw the rev rate, the angle, the confidence.

They ignored the negativity around doing something different and chose to embrace it.

And there are a lot more bowlers just like them!

This group represents something powerful: Evolution.

Their styles are different. Their games are still growing. They already have a long list of titles between them. What they share is simple. They are not afraid to push the limits.

In Their Own Words

Alex Crowley

“Belmo showed me you don’t have to do it like everyone else to be the best.”

Ernesto Reynoso

“Jason Belmonte inspired me from a young age to believe in the two-handed style and play with confidence. Watching him made me want to build my game around power, control, and creativity just like his.”

Anna Antony

“Watching Jason Belmonte’s power and emotion on the lanes convinced me that there were no limits to how the game could be played or enjoyed. His iconic style of play inspired me to embrace the two-handed style and find my own voice in the sport.”

Brady McDonough

"As a 5-year-old, seeing Belmo win all of these championships and majors showed me how much someone could achieve with a two-handed style."

Changing The Game

Belmonte didn’t change the game because of how he threw it. He changed it because of how he thought about it.

He trusted innovation. He proved that the right combination of talent, confidence, dedication, and equipment could unlock something entirely new.

That mindset carried forward.

This next generation isn’t chasing the past. They’re rocketing it forward.

And today’s game demands tools that keep up with that mindset. The Rocket A.I. is built for that next step. It gives players the ability to open up the lane, create sharper motion, and see shapes that weren’t there before.

The Fuse Is Still Burning

What started as a spark has become a movement. This generation doesn’t wait for the right moment, they create it.

They don’t complain about difficult conditions; they figure out how to adapt to them.

They don’t wait for opportunities; they create their own. They travel across the country competing in events. If there isn’t a tournament to bowl, they work with others to build one.

And the youth bowlers younger than them are already watching.

That’s how change works. One player challenges the norm. Others take it further. And the game keeps moving forward.

Jason Belmonte lit the fuse.

This generation is making sure it never burns out.

The question isn’t if the game will evolve.

It’s who’s willing to evolve with it.

Change the Game.
